Reddy's Injury and Recovery Timeline

Reports indicate that Reddy sustained his injury while bowling during the first ODI in Dharamsala, leading to his absence in the second match held in Lucknow. Although he made a comeback for the final ODI in Chennai, he bowled six overs, giving away 42 runs, after which he felt discomfort. The all-rounder is set to begin rehabilitation at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for a minimum of one month to regain his fitness ahead of India's upcoming two-Test series in Sri Lanka, with the schedule yet to be confirmed.

Team Impact and Potential Replacements

This situation arises as India is already missing another crucial all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, who was previously ruled out of the tours to England and Ireland due to a leg injury sustained during a conditioning session at the CoE after IPL 2026. No specific timeline for his return has been provided.
